The entire wrestling world came together to mourn the passing of the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes on June 11, 2015. Working with WWE right up until his death, Rhodes had become almost like a father to many of the talents honing their craft in both NXT and the WWE Performance Center.

Before that career, he was a beloved pro wrestler and announcer who had the gift of the gab. Possessing personality in spades, Dusty had influence on everyone from 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Upon his passing, Rhodes was the perfect subject of a wrestling documentary, and WWE duly delivered.

A WWE Network exclusive, Celebrating The Dream is an enjoyable look at Dusty's legacy. Credit where credit is due, WWE really know how to tug on the heart strings with their opening montages, and this proves that.

Released just days after his death, Celebrating The Dream opens with Vince McMahon paying a nice tribute to Rhodes, which paves the way for a sweet film that captures how Dusty Rhodes captivated millions and touched the hearts of many current WWE performers.
